or an analyst or someone else, but i, for example , said and said, well, few people say anything, and when they say it with their head, then, well, they take off their rose-colored glasses about the fact that f16 will come now, we will show everyone here , we will defeat the russians, we will reach moscow in three days, no, nothing like that will happen, and here i would like, well , from myself, maybe from my other colleagues, to thank mr. syrsky for the fact that he is under... experts together taken, so we thank him for telling the truth, but here he said another simple thing an interesting one, which, i would say, also takes off the rose-colored glasses that there, in particular, for the last zayakonomist, they had such that the opportunity is running out. and there are military

depots in russia, but oleksandr syrskyi said that if you compare that at the beginning of the invasion in february 22, the russian federation had , well, 100,000, approximately 150,000 soldiers on the front line, and now he says that this the number has increased to 520,000, and by the end of the 24th year they are planned to be 690,000, as well. says that since the 22nd year, the number of russian tanks has increased doubled, from 1,700 to 3,500, artillery systems tripled, armored personnel carriers from 4,500 to 8,900, you understand, i am saying this, well, i understand that you have heard these numbers perfectly, but i am saying this for our viewers, and on the one hand also, well, it's a bit, you know, it shows some such things that maybe the idea...

escalation management somehow works a bit, a bit wrong, and in that case , the question arises, what should be, well, some, i don't know, ukraine's strategy in this war, if it turns out that all the sanctions, all the attempts, well, to exhaust the russians lead to the fact that the number of their armored vehicles on the battlefield doubles, triples, the number of soldiers becomes five times greater, then... what then should be the strategy of our defense, you mentioned the one, i, we understand who you mentioned escalation management, there are such words in the united states that they believe that it is not possible, that it is necessary to strengthen our capabilities little by little, our capabilities to fight back against the russians, so that it is gradually unyielding there and so on, well, it is not something works because we are very like the number of destroyed enemies per day. per month, but this figure fluctuates

around 3-30,000 russians destroyed per month, and the figure that is added every month is 35-40,000, that is, we destroy 30, plus 10, another 5, 10 are added, and well, that is, these 30 is added, and to them from above, as they say, that is why the number increases, the number of equipment increases, well, the truth is that the equipment is there ... the number is that , but they will not be able to double it, and in general they will not be able to significantly increase it, because they pulled out almost everything what did they have, father, 3.5, further, there will be no more, another thousand or 2 thousand, they no longer have such an opportunity, they have already pulled out everything possible, artillery, they even pulled out 130 caliber, which not everyone has even heard of , what caliber is this, these are guns that were decommissioned in the late 1940s in the soviet union, because they are also looking for shells for them. somewhere in north korea, don’t let

the warehouses go there, there’s still a lot there, but almost everything they have is now at war, from now on they can only keep and feed, strengthen, increase, in them there is no such possibility anymore, so how should we conduct defense, well, this war, well, here , now, now it is as if we have adopted the concept of what is called active defense, and well, a little bit, it always sounds like this, to destroy the enemy’s ability to continue the war as much as possible , well, actually on the battlefield. the fact is that , in addition to positional defense, which we all know well, and we look at madibst and think, for some reason, that this is the only form of defense, there is also mobile, maneuverable defense, active defense, point defense, there, listen , well them, their where... just the types and what we

use, them, it's not something, it's not some kind of know-how, you know, it's so annoying when there's some new vision or, what vision, it's... tactics on the field in battle, in the field, it has not changed since the time of the napoleonic wars, there is nothing new there, everything is clear, the means of achieving the goal have changed, the russians are trying to carve out everything else from the flank, well, that is, all this is known, so it is very necessary somehow, i don't know whether to introduce censorship militarily or something else, to remove people who climb and try to tell, how to fight, and they say... such a fool that, well, you know, they give advice on a universal scale, universal stupidity at the same time, great, everyone, everyone perfectly understands, for this the commanders are in the chaka, they know what tactics should be used precisely these on this topography, at this particular time, with such a large number of our forces and means, the forces and

means of the enemy, what is active defense, how should we maneuver, what is mobile defense, what is even circular defense, what is opposition defense, what is excellent defense and so on, that is, all this and all this is combined and... lines up in order to inflict maximum damage on the enemy and give him the opportunity to advance minimally, but he will still advance somewhere and nowhere, that too, well , in the last 3,000 years there was no such thing as an army advancing, nowhere progressed, well , this has never happened in history, so this is also a completely expected result, but why is it dangerous when people get up and start talking about it, it heats up unnecessary degrees within society and greatly affects the military. they begin to hesitate to make a decision to leave or not to make a decision , because the decision to leave is stronger than five houses, the name of which 99.9 people have never heard, is perceived in society and in the media space as almost a defeat in the war, and people hesitate to read the command to leave, because we have to leave,

save the people, or later, now it will be lying there again, i don’t know positive, negative white or i don’t know what kind of bloggers are telling us that someone did us wrong, we... left one more settlement, although it was village, three dilapidated houses they stood there, you understand, but there is some name, so chulipteit tells about cases when he does not give a command, for example combrich, well , we hope that this is not completely verified information about the withdrawal of the battalion troops, who are almost completely surrounded, the combatant says that it is necessary to withdraw, well, there is no point in keeping the defense here, we will only put people in, he is hesitating, why is he hesitating, because if in... he gives the order to withdraw, there will be such a reaction in society, there, on the other hand, we also have to figure it out and, well how did it happen that just the part that was nearby, completely withdrew and exposed their flank, because every time such stories happen, it is connected with the fact that someone

withdrew and entered from the flank, this is already such a constant story with us that you know, well, that is the impression, that everyone is just sitting and waiting, well , when they come in from the flank again to leave. this is some kind of simple, i will not justify that this is information, i wanted to say a little different, the fact is that there are talks almost about criminal responsibility or at least administrative responsibility for the fact that the commander gives the order to withdraw the units, this is what scares me, i am sure that it is necessary to do exactly the opposite, if the person did not give the command to withdraw the troops, when it was fully in accordance with the military situation that was there. at this time, it should be no less administrative, better criminal liability, because listen, i know, well , i will be released not so long ago, i have a lot of friends who are fighting and listen, i am constantly communicating with them, and when what they tell about the impossibility of leaving when you are practically

surrounded for several days, there is no order to enter, because there is little that will happen from the point of view of the commander, the commander, because he will give the command to leave, and then he will almost go to the post carriage. that 's why we need to stop here, we need to tell more often, let's stop, we won't stop , if it's gone, it's gone, tell more often, and i'd like to do so in any case, we have to take a break, yes, we already have, thank you very much to oleksiy hetman, major of the reserve of the national guards, we have to leave now for a break. and we'll be back after the break there are discounts that represent the only discounts on eurofast softcaps of 10% in travel pharmacies for you and savings. there are discounts representing the only discounts on nephrovam 10% in

of resources, they urgently need, well, drones, means of protection, countering enemy drones, so this collection is critically important for them, please join, it is very important, and it is obvious that such a collection provides an opportunity for protection. to be able to fight, and for us , our goal is 3,500 hryvnias, which is big enough, but the help will also be very important for our fighters, you see there is a qr code, so please, any contribution is important here, good health, dear ukrainians, we are fighters of the first assault battalion of the third separate assault brigade, who are our native land on the front lines, we urgently need your help, we need

means of radio-electronic warfare against the enemy's small bpolas and drones of the komikat, we are asking for your help, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, yes, i hope that we already have a new guest, no, unfortunately, not yet, then let's talk a little bit about what we actually talked about with the previous guest, oleksiy hetman, we talked about what's going on there now there was such a flank breakthrough near the advance, well, this is also the pokrovsky direction, everything where serious battles are going on and where the russians are constantly trying to advance, and there was a flank breakthrough, due to the fact that a certain group of fighters left the... police and, as a result, another group fighters can practically

find themselves surrounded, and now there deep stejte wrote in himself that they were written by fighters who ask and say that they still have no order to leave that place, therefore, although combrich supports them, and the direct leadership says that that's how it should be, but it's as if it's not the higher leaders give some kind of... order to leave, well, we hope that this situation will somehow be exhausted and , after all, they will figure out who should be where, but the story itself, of course, when they happen... some such flanking russian breakthroughs - you already know that, well, it's just some kind of tradition, when it seems as if no one expected anything from the flank, and there someone withdraws, then someone finds himself in difficult situations, it is necessary to introduce fighters from other directions so that they stabilize the front, well, and for some reason , it is not known for what reason we do this by some kind of mere tradition, this is how

an important point and stubs were lost, and now this story is happening. around a certain very important height, which is also, well, its loss can have, well, long-term not bad, let's say, consequences, moreover, this breakthrough can be in the direction of the road from pokrovsky to konstantinivka, which is important in fact, which, well, can also affect the further course of hostilities, well, that's it, that is... i can't say what we have yet, we have to wait a little longer, because it's unclear, we can't, yes, it's like when our guest appeared, this is rost, the commander of the 97th battalion of the 60th

separate brigade, the mechanized brigade, i salute you, mr. rost, i salute you. i am very glad to finally see you, that you were able to break through to us. yes, the connection is bad, very bad. yes, well, well, you can be heard just fine, so if you can't hear us, it's okay, but we can hear you just fine. well, first of all, i would like to ask you about such a direction, you know, which, on the one hand, when compared with other directions, looks as if it is calmer, but if you look at the general picture, it is all around now. are happening some attempts by the russians and some such offensive actions, what is your situation, do you feel the same attempts by the russians to move forward in your direction? well, in our direction for the last 11 months that we have been, not once has the enemy stopped us from storming in small or large groups in

the direction of liman, so i can't say that our direction... er, today is quieter than ever -what else, the enemy is climbing, constantly climbing, there the russian soldiers were bragging about something, as if they managed to advance somewhere in the direction nevsky, as well as ternivyam polivka, whether it is at all true, if it is not really valid, then their propaganda videos show something. the 60th separate mechanized brigade was still at home and is still standing and has not lost a single position, so this is a complete lie. and tell me, what are the tactics of the russians in your direction right now, do they use any infantry forces or equipment when they try to move somewhere there, well

, that is, how have you been watching over all this time, how their attempts at action change? and-and in the spring of this year were very powerful enemy assaults , tanks, armored personnel carriers drove by mechanized detachments, there was a very large number, but all this equipment was destroyed, and at the moment, as of now, the enemy only goes on foot, or tries to approach them on these big four-wheeled vehicles go to our positions, but the baguette... is not armor and it also burns very well, so they can only reach their advanced positions by walking in small groups, well, what you say is actually a typical situation, because we, when at the inclusion of your other colleagues from other directions, they they say the same thing, that this is the tactic of assaults, on foot in small groups and that's all, and you know,

i have such a question, tell me, when is this the tactic of assaults on foot, right? uh, why isn't something more actively used on our part, for example, mining with anti-personnel mines? i understand that anti-personnel mines are such a controversial topic, but we have a question, well, to put it mildly, not to some politesse, why are there few mines, i understand you, but anti-personnel mines, mines are prohibited by the geneva convention, and they cannot... be installed in the order in which it is prescribed in military affairs, that is why we do not use anti-personnel mines that the enemy uses, we can only use them there minimally for the defense of some position, and

then for remote detonation, i.e. we cannot dig in and inflict damage on the enemy in this way, well, this is not according to the zhenets convention, we, but we are fighting according to the zhenets convention, so we do not do this, well, this explains the difference between how... in the zaporizhzhia region they tried to advance , well, counterattack our troops, and we actually encountered this, we do not use what the enemy uses, but we very successfully use fpv systems, mortar fire drops, artillery fire, i believe that in this war, in this phase of the war of 2024, armored vehicles are already... . is almost irrelevant, all the equipment turns out to be on approaches, let’s say, there for 4-5 km, and

in 90% of cases it is destroyed on the approach, so now all these tanks, which cost millions of dollars, are simply destroyed for a fraction of a cent. 300 bucks and a good pilot, huh, but the fpv saturations on our end are sufficient to compensate for this. that 's enough, but as everyone knows that bc doesn't happen much, that's why, at the moment, it's not parity, we have this with the enemy, the enemy also has a lot of fpv, a lot of ammunition, he is already producing at his facilities and supplying his front already with the latest resets that they use against us, i wonder what kind of battle it is? what's so new about it, please explain a little bit, open it up, the supplies are adapted to mount fpv, or

mavics, drones, skid systems, and they adapted by their weight and shock-knuckle mechanism for modern actions, that is, if you take the vog, of course, it must be modified to be dropped from the mavik, then it... works, and they already give ammunition to their army, which is already an analogue of the vog , but it detonates instantly when it hits the ground, from a low height, that is, well, that is directly factory technology already, that is, somewhere they put production on stream, so somewhere they put it on stream and it is used against us, well, this is an unfortunate story, because of course i would like to be here also have some commensurate piece that could also work itself. well, we have more or less the same number, so we keep parity in terms of the number of effective drops, we are

definitely, well, literally there for half a minute, tell me , however, what about the artillery, as it is now in your direction, how do you see it, because there is already information about the fact that the russians and the 130s are tightening up, and well, there are the korean ones, how do you actually deal with this? and from the large-caliber artillery, i can say that the enemy was noticeably in it, but he has enough flank for mortars, 120-82, the side of the bmp is enough, it is of the hundredth caliber, so it is quite a lot, and the tanks of closed positions are also shooting at the enemy, we are already observing 152 mm. very well, much less than two months ago, well, thank you very much, thank you for joining us and being able to call us, it

was growth, callsign growth, the commander of the 97th battalion of the 60th separate mechanized brigade, our time is up, stay with the espresso tv channel, we will meet with you not in a week, but in a couple of weeks in this format, so see you. 13-year-old sofiyka storozhuk. this girl lived in the city of kupyansk in kharkiv oblast, and it was there that she encountered a full-scale war. let me remind you that kupyansk was under occupation almost from the first days of the russian invasion, and the city was liberated by the soldiers of the ukrainian armed forces in september 2022 . that's when. it became known about the disappearance of the child, where sofiyka might be now, it is still unknown, it is possible that the girl is in territories not under the control of ukraine, i hope that with your help.

let's take another look at the photo of the child: she has blond hair, thin lips and an oval face face. if suddenly someone has seen sofiyka or knows where she might be, call us immediately on the hotline of the magnolia children's search service at the short number 11630. i also want to tell you the story of the sisters liana and neli kapalenko, also from kharkiv region. liana turned 14 in march , and neli is now 17. in these photos , the girls are clearly younger, but i really hope that this will not hinder their search. information about the disappearance of the sisters came back in june 2022 from the border town of vovchansk. two years have passed since then, but during this time there was no news about the kapalenko sisters. it is possible that nelya talyana was taken to a territory not controlled by ukraine, or

even before that, it is very important to know even the smallest details of their disappearance. if suddenly someone has seen the girls or knows at least some information about them, immediately call us on the hotline of the magnolia child tracing service at the short number 1163. calls from all ukrainian mobile operators are free of charge, if suddenly it is not possible to call, write to the chat bot of the child tracing service at telegram and i will ask for a moment of yours. this is 16-year-old ivan bastryukov. the boy also disappeared in the city of kupyansk in august 2022. about a month before the liberation of the city from the russians. ivan looks his age. he has an oval face, dark gray hair and curly hair. if anyone suddenly saw the boy or knows where he might be, call us immediately on the magnolia children's search hotline at the short number 11630. calls from

any ukrainian mobile operator. about free i will remind you if suddenly there is no communication or the ability to call, write to the chatbot of the children's search service in telegram. and now regarding the territories controlled by ukraine and a more or less peaceful life. unfortunately, children also disappear here, as the experience of the children's search service shows, the vast majority of them are teenagers who often just run away. we talked about this topic with a psychologist and collected a lot of advice for... parents, which can definitely prevent a child from suddenly running away from home. tell the child who he can turn to in case necessity of course, ideally it could be you, the one she should turn to when she feels the need for it. but sometimes you may not be available, you may be at work, busy with some other things, and what to do then? agree on this in advance. think with your child about who he can also turn to. maybe it will be

someone... another adult from the family, maybe it will be one of the teachers, or the school psychologist. in addition, agree with the child on an anti-crisis plan, how to deal with it when it falls into a situation that may carry a threat? and if it happened on the street, where to run, how to call for help, how to take a taxi and get home, and the child must have money for this taxi, that is, work out an anti-crisis plan to the smallest detail, and the more detailed it is for you. the better the chance it will work, and the better the chance you will save the child from some great danger. we have created a resource where you can report any crime against a child. in any city, at any time, just go to the site and let us know, and we will launch all possible mechanisms of criminal punishment. stopcrime ua.
